Can older babies use Aminomethyl Propanol?
ℹ️General Overview
For babies 6-12 months (infants), this ingredient is used to adjust pH. It is not linked to cancer or developmental harm in the data, but it can irritate skin and eyes and there are worries about contaminated batches. That means it’s okay in some products when manufacturers control how much is used and keep impurities out, but we should be careful with babies.
✅What to Do
When caring for a 6-12 month old: prefer products made for infants that list simple, known ingredients; avoid putting products with this ingredient near your baby’s eyes or on irritated or broken skin; do a small patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours before wider use; stop use and wash with water if you see redness, stinging, swelling or any reaction. If possible, choose products where the brand states safe concentration limits or that are specifically formulated for babies.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for skin or eye irritation — this ingredient is listed as an eye and skin irritant under official hazard labeling systems. There are also contamination concerns (reported impurities include nitrosamines and oxazolidine) and some regulations restrict or limit its use in cosmetics. These warnings come from regulatory and industry sources such as EU hazard labeling rules, the EU cosmetics directive, and industry safety reviews. If your baby develops a reaction, stop use and consult your pediatrician.
